The Norwood Grove pullover is knit top-down in light fingering-weight wool and wool/silk, with touches of mohair for a lush, delicate feel. Its cool shades and design reflect this year’s late spring, which saw large snow melt, ice jams, and flooding across portions of the Canadian prairie.

The textured yoke features ribs and lacework (eyelet basketweave) in a cool, ‘watered silk’ shade of wool/silk blend that appears to float above the slightly deeper ‘spring ice’ shade of the body. Cable panels intertwined with ribs provide light surface texture and flattering vertical flow across the body. German short rows raise the back neck for gentle drape around the shoulders.

The pattern contains a schematic and finished measurements (after blocking) to achieve the best fit. Charts and written instructions are provided for the lace and cable pattern repeats.
